You didn't shout too much... and in any case I'm a big boy and have been around the forums a while.

The good news is that a lot of this is down to rust and overexcitement -- I'd just finished my first session in weeks and had spent the last bit running over a few weak tighties 3 or 4 way at a friend's 1/2 table as it broke up. I was also pretty sure it was a bad play as soon as I made it. Any doubt was down to the dead money cushion.

I'm actually far more likely to be way too tight vs a raise -- my 'gap' is probably larger than it should be. Usually a 3-bet would be restricted to big PPs, AK(s), maybe AQs until I got a better handle on my opponent. I overvalued 2.33 SB in dead money and made a bad play that I won't repeat.

The bottom line is even if this type of play isn't a big leak, I made a poor decision without thinking enough about it... which is a big leak and something I'm working hard to correct.

Thanks again.
